It seems an odd thing to suggest but I’m not one to argue with anything that helped Reid drop 175 lbs!

Surrounded by skinny friends and a body weight exceeding the Weight Watchers scale, Reid turned to blogging to find support. She posted full-body photographs (with her face blurred out) and began DietGirl.org which now boasts more than 500,000 readers.

Reid now blogs about the challenges of maintaining a healthy weight. (I guess we can watch for another book in the future??)
